I have a White's. Had it for around 10 years and it has been trouble free.

I use the Detectorpro headhunter. It has all the controls in the headset and really easy to use. It has worked really well for me.

Our department uses JW Fishers Pulse 8x and I think they are the best thing going. We use several coils, 10", 18" and 48"x8."

The most common coil we use though is the 18" on the lowest power setting. That way we are covering a broad area picking stuff up a couple inches below the mud, as opposed to a couple feet down.

Good luck!

The JW fisher is widely accepted as the benchmark in UW metal detectors.

For the record.... I responded to the post about the "trident" detectors. If you need me to be more blunt: They are an unknown company, and untill proven otherwise, I would categorize them as JUNK.

I've got a Fisher 1280X (note- Fisher is a different company than JW Fisher) that I've been using for about 14 years- never had a problem, great for finding medium sized targets with the 10" coil. (That means guns ;-))

Thanks all. I belikeve we are pretty much sold on the metal detector. I will recommend the various size coils.
